Abstract
The present invention discloses one or more methods to perform multimode processing using a single set of measured data in a multi-sensor fusion framework. In this context, various data processing methodologies are combined in parallel in a suitable manner to simultaneously image, detect, identify and track moving targets over clutter such as stationary background using data obtained from a single set of measurements. Traditionally multiple sets of data would be required to perform these tasks, furthermore the disparate datum would be processed independently of one another. By using a common data source and interconnected processors the information content of the measured data can be fully exploited and leveraged to provide actionable intelligence and aid logistics.
